We have really enjoyed the tour. It is our first day in Tokyo and we are very greatful to our excellent guide Dini for a very interesting tour. She is a very knowledgeable guide and a very pleasant person. Arigatou gozaimasu!
I took Shibuya walking tour with Daichi as our guide. Surprisingly he's a very resourceful about history, cultural matters and the city, not just the tour, and his English is fluent. I got many hidden story and it's exciting. I highly recommend this.
Beautiful tour and insightful experience with Maki! Learned so much about Japan culture , food, old and new times. Recommend anyone top the tour as perfect introduction to Tokyo life! She also provides plenty food and activities options in a very clean way. Loved the energy, sense of humour and fun facts.
We had a really wonderful tour yesterday in Asakusa! We really loved how our guide was explaining everything with so much enthousiasm, with pictures complementing her stories. She explained a lot about the Buddhist temple and Shinto Shrine and their rituals, and also explained a lot about the neighborhood, but also some nice facts about certain shops, or other things you'd like to know when visiting Japan. Really good to know when seeing more temples and shrines all over Japan. I also really liked how she took care of us, giving us time for a picture and meet again in a few minutes, but also for seeking the shadow and reminding to get something to drink before we would start with the tour. Would definitely recommend! Ps. I hope posting this picture is okay, if not: let me know then I'll remove it from the review!
We did the 3 hour Tokyo walking tour today with Hiroshi. It was an excellent tour. Hiroshi was a fantastic tour guide full of energy, very knowledgeable and very funny. We got to experience a little bit of Tokyo with a local who clearly loves his city. Akihabara is an amazing spot, I can't wait to go back and experience it at night. The Shinto shrine was beautiful and we learned how to cleanse our hands before entering and got to make a wish to a Shinto God. The history of Japan is fascinating and was explained very well to us by Hiroshi. Ameyoko market was crazy and great to see. Ueno park was beautiful and an excellent place to end the tour. Overall one of the best free walking tours I have been on. Thank you Hiroshi!
